The last time the earth was ravaged, animals were saved two by two in a massive ark, peacefully sailing to a new beginning, or so the story goes. This time, we're not so lucky. With a massive asteroid hurtling toward the planet, a select few were chosen to inhabit modern-day arks ~ pods buried deep within the earth's core. You were chosen. You were buried alive. And you rose from the ground to face your worst nightmare. Hordes of mutants killing without a thought, bandit gangs wreaking havoc throughout the already defunct wasteland, a looming Authority seizing maniacal power and holding secrets ~ this is what remains of humanity. The world as you know it is gone, but if any world is to stand in its place, there's only one person left who can raise it up from the ashes ~ you. That is, if you can survive the Rage.Step up to the challenge and climb into the wasteland in the first-person shooter that flings you to the edge of the earth and the brink of extinction. Rage pits you against the odds in a desolate world in which you were selected for survival ~ just to face death at every turn. To redeem humanity, you must master a massive arsenal of exotic wingsticks, sentry boots, bomb cars and other powerful weapons and fearlessly wage war against the evil forces overtaking your planet. Fire through heart-pounding first-player shooting action, rip through the wasteland in high-octane vehicle chases and turn your car into your most deadly weapon ~ you have to play dirty if you want to live. Experience the mass decay with every painfully realistic detail with the id Tech 5 engine and Megatexture technology, firing at 60 frames per second to make you feel as if the world has crumbled around you. And when you take the battle online, the devastating action really does stretch around the world. You've survived the apocalypse. Now comes the real battle.

better then doom
on November 16, 2011
Posted by: joemom
from schaumburg il
consider this game a challenge with fallout 3 like wastelands and a doom like mission base. the game is really hard on normal so i cant imagine on hard always stock up on ammo do yourself a favor and bandages do work. dont forget to hit vs shoot sometimes too it can be better. the game is strategy without claiming it
What's great about it: doesnt leave you wondering what you have to do
What's not so great: missions can be near impossible if you dont stock up

from schaumburg il
minus the way they portray women thinking that everyone like chest which fyi is not true... funny just ask drake.... it still is one of the best modern adventure games it is very challenging had to use a walkthrough for 2 of the chapters and im still not done... i wish there were some adventure games like quest for glory and kings quest though they had class... pentium class lol.... it is a really good game and still has many good characters some lame dialogue is about the only bad thing... its kind of like duke nukem will be lame version of nudity wheres the heels and fishnets.... but still a rockin game
What's great about it: length and challenge graphics and guns
What's not so great: overrated dialogue at one point and sometimes to challenging

As members of the elite peacekeeping force Dead Echo, Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato fear deception within the ranks and decide to strike out on their own. In their quest for cash, these former mercenaries come upon their ex-commander's warship. Outmanned and outarmed, Grayson decides that the only option is to attack the Ulysses head-on in a suicidal mission. Barely surviving a crash landing, Hunt and Sato now find themselves isolated on an abandoned planet, surrounded by packs of mutants and flesh-eating gangs. Will they be able to escape the planet alive and take out their revenge?Bulletstorm places you in the role of Grayson Hunt, a former mercenary-turned-space pirate, stranded on the deserted paradise planet of Stygia. Surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh-eating gangs, you must fight to survive and claim revenge on the man who has marooned you here. Kill enemies with style and skill as you rack up points that you can use to upgrade your skillshots ~ allowing you to decimate your enemies in more creative ways. Combine your slaying style with an arsenal of high-tech weaponry that allows you to deal death in a powerful and explosive manner. Travel across the desolate planet from the scorched deserts to tropical forests to an adult playground resort, all delivered by the power of the Unreal Engine.

i may have only played the demo but...
By w123werty from bako
This game is amazing. Its almost like a leisurely HALO with a ton of different "skillshots" to at least try and attempt. If your a super hardcore gamer this may not bring enough challenge to the table, but at least try the demo to see if its the right thing for you

Demo Review
By elabryth from Millbrook, AL
As stated above, this review is based only on the demo. The game is really fast-paced and, of course, looks a lot like Gears of War. Although, be warned, this is no clone. The fact that the game compels you to come up with new and interesting ways to kill your foes is excellent. I keep playing the demo, over and over, to see what I can come up with. You can use the environment, as well as your weapons, to create wicked death’s for your enemies. This type of game play is going to lend it self nicely to the multi-player aspect of the game, which I know we are all looking forward to. This XBOX 360 version also comes with a BETA invitation to play GEARS OF WAR 3 multiplayer. That, I am really looking forward to. Thanks for reading.

On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced.To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy's most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong.

Kickin'!
By jaikwon from Eugene, OR
I don't like shelling out dough on simple games. I like this game. Good variety of weapons and powers (yes-like magic space powers) and modifications. The different alien races are interesting and unique. I also like the variety of environments that are offered. Too often, a game gets a "hugh" that permeates everything. Each planet has its own feel. And, with a "choose-your-own-adventure" style, Sheppard can be a mean-mugging bada$$ or a strong-hearted nice guy. Each unlocking unique dialogue options during gameplay. There is much more to it than this, but I'm tired of typing-I'm going to go play some more.
